Time to time all of us run into spaces of loneliness lonesomeness, unrequited love, unrequited work, creating fine music that no one in the world seems to care about, and certainly no opportunity to present it

Bio

Lyrics

It’s only a lifetime
Too many people
alone in the dark
If I waste a lifetime
how can I go on

Lived inside
a memory, I was
afraid of the feelings
that’d come over me
out of a love
I thought I
could know

Trapped inside
a loneliness
Thoughtless moments
unhappiness

But it’s only a lifetime
oh, it’s only a lifetime

Every time I feel the pain
commotion sings its sad refrain
And every time I try to know
emotion sea won’t let me go

Distant glory, life of friend
An open door
Bitter end
Endure emotional casualty
from my strained reality

To bring about a world of change
my hopes and dreams to rearrange
Well, easy come and easy go
I’ve let you see my feelings-
So Long
